Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged; light helps germination. Thin or transplant seedlings so plants have room to branch and bloom freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
